One Key Action to Overcome Distractions & Accomplish More

By January 22, 2017 July 30th, 2018 No Comments

Hey there! I hope you’re doing great today!

Do you ever feel distracted?

Do you desire to accomplish more and use your time better?

If you’re like most people, you are bombarded daily with advertisements, social media, and all sorts of people and other things demanding your time.

To overcome this, you must create a greater sense of URGENCY in your work and life. How do you do that? Set deadlines and write down the cost you’ll pay by not meeting the deadline.

My mentor Kary Oberbrunner is leading a group of us through a course to help us become “unhackable” in work and life. In one of his sessions, he stated “If I want my time to count, I must count my time. Desire without a deadline is simply a pipe dream.”

Wow! How often do you have dreams and goals that just never happen because you’ve not given yourself a deadline to accomplish them? How often are you counting your time? Do you have real dreams you’re going after or just a “pipe dream?” What is it costing you to not take action with urgency?

Block out some time in the next 2-3 days to write down the dreams and goals that you have. Then give yourself a deadline to take action on those items. Your dream may take months or years to achieve, but what will you do in the next 30 days? What will you do next week? What will you do today?

Create a sense of urgency in your life to achieve your goals and dreams by setting a deadline. Then, block the time on your calendar for when you will focus on taking action. I guarantee this will help you block out distractions and accomplish more. I’m experiencing this lesson in real time even as I type.

I would love to help you become “unhackable” in your work and life so you can achieve your goals and dreams. If you recognize that having a coach to hold you accountable and teach you how to overcome the distractions and barriers in your life is valuable and needed, contact me at [email protected]. My dream is to help YOU achieve your dreams!

Go Be Intentionally Great today!
